Vacuum Cleaner?

agh, just as I'm getting the D90 fund off the ground the Dyson burns out another belt then finally gives up the ghost. Don't really want to go for another Dyson, didn't rate it that much, looked at a couple of Samsung and the "turbo head" literally exploded and scattered across the store floor! the Hoover branded ones looked shite and the Meile were equally as poor (there was even one that they had been using to clean the store in bits!).

Miele were no good for me , I have a £260 one that lasted 2 years.
Sebo are highly rated, they do a couple of good ones I have a Sebo felix (pet) its ace and comes with a 5 year guarentee very manouverable and light, bit like domestic version of the well reviewed commercial Dart model, think that the X4 (?) had won awards too

Well, I once saw a Henry bounce down a set of concrete stairs, and still work perfectly, with only a couple of cosmetic scuffs.

I've seen a Dyson fall down a short set of carpeted stairs, and splode into a million plastic pieces. The one in my old place I shared, I knocked the brush bit on a table leg or something, as you do, and the front plastic bit had to be replaced; cost over £80. I stuck it back on with a bit of superglue, but it fell off when the cleaner tried to use it. So I blamed her.

See? Dysons lead to innocent people getting framed for crimes THEY DID NOT COMITT!!!

We've had two Dysons, first one a cylinder the second an upright. First one lasted years second one only just reached two years before dying. I'm suspicious that the quality went down when they moved manufacturing out of the UK. Yes I know that may seem hard to believe and if it's true it may also be unique. The whole bagless thing is great until you actually have to empty it. A far better design would dump the dust into a bag without blowing the air through the bag giving you the best of both worlds. I can't see how a man who can combine a football and wheelbarrow couldn't have got that sorted. But of course that wouldn't have been so easy to market as being revolutionary.
We've got a Seebo now which works and seems very well made and best of all doesn't have an automatic cable rewinder which always play up whatever you buy.
However if I was going out to buy a hoover then I'd come back with a Henry, a man's hoover! We use them all the time on exhibit stands and they last and they work. And look in the back of any builders van or what commercial cleaning companies use, henry every time.

Hello MrNutt! I'm biased with electric appliances but I do have a lot of experience unfortunately! Another vote for Miele, mine is a cylinder one and you can get them with all sorts of filtration. Not expensive, Argos sell them.

If MrNutt does not in any way buy a Henry, then I'm going to tell his financé to call the wedding off. I mean, if he goes and buys owt else, it just means that he is weak of mind and will, and therefore not a fit husbind.
